THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS LEARNING STYLES
Stop, stop, stop, just stop with that pseudoscience

How can principals support classroom discipline?
Rule #1: Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever send a misbehaving kid back to class without a consequence

Parents are a big part of the problem with cell phones in school. Far too many feel entitled to contact and hear back from their kids during class.
Phones distract kids for all sorts of reasons and one of those reasons is their parents texting them constantly.
Own it, guys.

Hi all,
We’ve made an absolute killing selling Leavers’ Hoodies to the Year 11s and the Prom profits have been amazing. We have made enough money to buy new Delonghi bean to cup coffee machines for the SLT Offices and a packet of six glue sticks for every tutor group.
Thanks x

What’s the funniest thing you’ve gotten scolded for in a 1:1 at work? “Please stop saying ‘That’s why they pay me the medium bucks’ every time someone says “Thank you” it’s making people uncomfortable” comes to mind for me

The fastest way to kill morale? Treat your teachers like they’re lucky to have a job.

I can’t believe I actually have to say this but LEARNING STYLES DON’T EXIST

Once again, matching teaching to learning styles has near-zero impact on student achievement. I've noticed a resurgence of the learning styles myth recently so this new study is timely. 🧵 ⬇️

Some teachers prefer discovery- style teaching because they're lazy and they'd rather get the kids wandering around the room looking at posters that they've blu-tacked to the walls than actually do their job.

5 years ago today the schools closed. We went home not knowing when they would fully open again.
The way schools managed that period of distress and uncertainty was incredible and i don't think education has ever truly received the credit it deserves for that action.

If the teacher is working harder than the students then something's not right.

Hi all,
Miss Johnson, our Head of Maths, asked why she is on a PIP when she was always “Outstanding’ at previous schools. The answer is simple: other schools don’t follow our prescribed lesson plans, scripts and policies. It’s The Willows Way or the highway, love.

Being a teacher is literally going, ‘‘Next week will be easier.’’ until you either die or retire.

Job creep occurs often with teachers.
What is ‘job creep’ you ask?
𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐩 is a phenomenon in which employers slowly require increasing amounts of work relative to the normal requirements.

someone at work said that a generation of kids growing up not reading books is a generation of kids not learning how to imagine what it's like to put themselves in someone else's shoes and understand how/why they feel what they do (empathy)
